Yeah, forgetting the personal attacks, that I also did (unhappily) there is many and many important lessons down here..

From my own one point of view, I learned to see some market lobbys without my old one perspective..

Before that, every effort on the direction to push us to that promissed "dotdarkhole" (made mostly for some M.V.Ps).. It was seen by me as something fully orchestrated by the industry.. Exactly as it was in the 80's..

So, on some dialog with Martin, I realize that I (Claudio) can be being seen for others as a VFP's lobbyist.. In fact, this is what I did on that moment.. Exactly as the M.V.P. Martin made for dotnet.. Funny stuff.. No money directly involved, only personal interests and/or opinions..

If I was the man that creates the strategy of dotnet, for sure, I would make great partnerships with MVPs because it can really be a great business.. Better than any other midia..
